In any case, I also always give XP for quests, plot achievements and other non-combat challenges, so at least these are all made-up.Personally I prefer (also as a player) a slow and DM-orchestrated advancement that gives everyone enough time to try out and learn to use all their character abilities before getting new ones. I also think that slow advancement helps to stop thinking about next level and focus more on the 'here and now' of the adventures. But by "DM-orchestrated" I don't necessarily mean plot-synchronized. I don't like the idea that the adventure is tweaked to match the PC's level, and neither viceversa. I prefer to think that adventures are as difficult as they are, period, and it's up to the PCs to decide if they want to take on a risky one or let it wait and go somewhere else (hint: sandbox).</blockquote>
